Military and non-military service

Finnish men are have an obligation for military service (conscription). Most conscripts complete military service. However, instead of military service, some perform their duties either as unarmed military service or non-military service, based on their personal convictions. Women can apply for voluntary military service, and after the service, these women are considered conscripts.
